Thread: Time to move on?

No,

This is the only message board I visit. Kris invited me years ago, and I’ve developed a few friendships. I was gonna text you the other day Davii. I need advice on a 2020 F150 I just bought. I’ll shoot you a text later today. If you shut it down I understand, there aren’t a lot of new posts here, but I still check it several times a week.

I suggest removing politics and religion threads. Many people unfriended each other on social media after election day. It would save Broncosforum's life. ()

I agree. I think the polical culture has been really bad not just here but in daily life. Maybe we should just talk about the Broncos and football.
Many disagreements have made people leave the site. It gets shitty.
After all, we all came here for Bronco/football discussion.

Damage has been done so I don't think shutting down P&R would help anything, but I do think we've all learned to hate each other a little bit more since 2016. Some have left or limited board use because of it. Plus the Broncos have been absolute trash, we're all older, have lives (some more than others), and message boards in general have died everywhere with the rise of Reddit, discord, and other forms of social media. I miss message boards and find them superior to reddit and all other forms of communication, but there's no going back!

A good quote though related to politics and how we choose to live our lives in general.

Well I don't pay a dime to keep this going, so my answer is no.

I'd probably pay a small amount to keep it going, and I bet that small amount would undervalue the connection that it represents to everything that it was and still is.

If it was to shutter, it would be perfect to have a get-together send off. I'd go. That would be the way to do it.

Yes, Abe is always welcome and the pants rule is strictly enforced!

I don’t venture into P&R here. I come here for entertainment.

Same here.

Is it available to upgrade this website?

There may be options for that.

All good things come to an end. We can’t expect you guys to foot the bill for our entertainment. Granted, I don’t frequent this place like in the past. The creators of this forum should be thanked. Tned, Topscribe, DenverNative (Carol), and JRwiz. Two of the four have passed away. And thankful for you, Davii, who has carried the torch.

If the consensus is to fade away as a forum, please give us a heads up so we can exchange personal info to the ones that want to keep in touch with each other.

We paid at the beginning to help out Tned. If there is a get-together, I’ll be there.

Politics is an optional decision for posters. I decided to leave politics. I look at all posters in Broncos Talk as fellow Bronco fans regardless of their political views. I don’t believe in taking that option away. Unfriending is an adult’s childish way of throwing a temper tantrum. lol.
